Been gone a long time.. and I am still pretty mad about it.. just to tell the story.. I went to the Arnold Classic(which I love to do every year) Long story short.. I was assaulted by a man a didn’t even know, resulting in a compound fracture to my  right humerus, had surgery 2 days after.. oh yeah..the worst 2 days of my life…Ughhh!!..and now have a 8 inch rod in my arm.. so I have been without lifting..and just started back in July.. with about a 15 lb max on my right arm. I am slowly getting back, but need to find my motivation, some inspiration and I hope returning to the place I found it before will help.

  I work hard everyday… everyday to achieve the goals I have set forth for myself and my body….. It really upsets me when I see stats that are a outright lie… it is an insult to people that work hard in the gym… thats right we go to the gym…. It is shows no respect for the sport…. and these stats r impossible…. I am here on bodyspace to seek encouragement… motivation… and learn from the best….I think everyone should be honest!!! U can never achieve your goals when u lie about where u are!!!!! Sorry …. it just made me mad!!!

…. So…. last night.. just to see, I tried on my bathing suits from last summer…. and WOW…. I didnt recognize my body… the suit was soooo big… it hung off me,  I felt amazing….. and then just for giggles I put on the one I had  4 years ago… (the little one with the strings)..that I never wore…. DOUBLE WOW…. it was too big on me!!! I cried!! Who knew… I had a body under all that fat… I cant wait to go shopping for my bathing suit the summer!!!

Oh…and a extra bonus … on monday… I beat my record deadlift!!! YEAH ME!!!

I m going to the Arnold…and I cant wait…. WHoo HOO… sorry … I had to share my excitement!!!!!! YAY!!!

My meet was on saturday…. I got 3 state records…. I got my deadlift goal at 225…Not bad for a 128 pound woman….

but at the point I pulled up the 225…I felt a pop in my chest and shoulder and I knew it was bad… well let just say…today is chest day and I am not doing that…lol… partial tear… shewww!!! Yeah me!!!

But…I cant wait to heal and do it all again next year!!!

So…. I had an intense leg workout yesterday…. I hate Squats…but I suffered through… I took the spin class… I was feeling amazing….I just knew I would be sore this am…. but when I woke up at 4am… its wasnt my legs that where sore… My heart Ached sooo BAD!!! Not going to get into the reason why… but WOW… it hurt!!!!

I rolles over and what did I see the Treadmill……. and thought shewww!!! I dont even want to get out of bed… but I got up…got a drink… and got on that thing….for 4 miles I ran….My mind racing the whole time!!! What will I do now… I thought to myself…

Then… I thought… hmmm… Im going to keep working out… Im going to better myself….and by damn…saturday morning…Im going to get the state record for powerlifting!!!! I took a shower….fixed my hair…. put on my size 3 slacks…thats right I said size 3!!! 4 inch hills and one fantastic Kenneth Cole shirt!!! Looking Fierce!!! Heart ache not gone…… But I sure do look good!!!

Wish me luck on saturday!!! Im nervous now…Ill proabably be the only woman competing and I wont have my partner cheering me on!!!  But … Imma going to do it for me!!!!

So.. I dont know who read my last blog before I deleted it…. For horrid spelling… LOL…. But… On monday I reached one of my goals I had set for myself… I deadlifted 200lbs… Did a little dance around the gym… maybe a toe touch… HAHA!!!  It wasnt too long ago that lifting 65 lbs off the floor was too much for me!!! Mve over BOYS!!! I do wish there were more women at my gym… most days Im the only woman there… SHEWW…..

.. Been doing really well on my diet so far this week.. Its so hard to not cheat when ur at work… Even though I work in Health Care the hospital cafeteria has a lack of healthy food…. I am pumped to get to the gym at 4:30… Its Leg day…. the hardest day of the week for me… Ya know… with the chicken legs!!! OK…rambling done!!!

Ok…. Here ..I go….

I need some motivation… Been working at this body thing for 4 months… My arms …amazing… my legs… looking better…still look like chicken legs…as a guy at the gym so sweetly put it…lol

My ABS…My ABS…. I swear they look the same, even though.. I have went from a size 10 to a size 5… they still look like mommy abs…

i lost my workout partner… Now what to do… I need motivation!!!  and I shouldnt have eaten that Blizzard yesterday….lol
